[QUOTE=BigEd36]S10mannn, I suspect when cobalt said you're totally wrong he was referring to your statement that 355's and 383's are both .30 overbore, when in fact they are both .030 overbore. We just wish we could overbore our 350's by .30.[/QUOTE

He ended up at about 245-255 HP, so would assume about a 300 net going through a 5 speed.
He just knew it was going to be 450-500 hp and was pretty pissed, his mistake was listening to his friends guessing HP.

and that wouldnt be possible for me considering my engine is 210-220 hoss power stock

Do yourself a favor and shut up and listen. Once you've been doing this for a year- or forty- THEN you get do some lecturing. Maybe.

BTW, you are TOTALLY wrong in your statement I quoted above.

383 uses the 400 crank and yes there is 383 that are bored and some are 383 that are not bored
